      ​​@@joshboy88420Great ear too. This is exactly what you are describing. For the second type of r this is not about being in the middle, it is about being followed by a silent vowel or not. If it is, the r turns into the exact same sound as the Spanish j or the Arabic kh or the German ch (in words such as Ach) because it is too hard for us to keep this guttural r after a silent vowel so by assimilation the r turns also into this silent version of the r.
